In 2007 I semi-retired and moved from OPEC (Overpopulated Polluted East Coast) back to the state of my youth, South Dakota. My former co-workers in Massachusetts surely thought I was insane. Although I live in the eastern part of the state, the best photo ops are, in South Dakota vernacular, West River. I rarely go during the touristy summer, preferring the quieter fall, winter and spring. There's plenty of telephoto images of many animal species. From 2011 until a fire in 2017, I had a trailcam stashed somewhere in the Black Hills monitoring elk movements.
